Behold the Saviour of mankind

Author: S. Wesley, Sr., 1662-1735 Appears in 391 hymnals Topics: Jesus (See also Christ) Crucified Lyrics: 1 Behold the Saviour of mankind Nailed to the shameful tree! How vast the love that Him inclined To bleed and die for thee! 2 Hark, how He groans! while nature shakes, And earth's strong pillars bend; The temple's veil in sunder breaks, The solid marbles rend. 3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid; "Receive my soul," He cries! See where He bows His sacred head; He bows His head, and dies. 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love, like Thine?

Before Him, on the mountains, Shall peace the herald go; And righteousness in fountains, From hill to valley flow. 4 Kings shall fall down before Him And gold and incense bring; All nations shall adore Him, His praise all people sing; For Him shall prayer unceasing And daily vows ascend; His kingdom still increasing, A kingdom without end. 5 O'er every foe victorious, He on His throne shall rest; From age to age more glorious, All-blessing and all-blest. The tide of time shall never His covenant remove; His name shall stand for ever, His changeless name of Love. Used With Tune: SALVE DOMINE
